Marge Wyatt

We’re looking forward to joining Ann Erdman, the city of Pasadena’s public information officer, at her table for the Women for Racial Justice breakfast on Monday, sponsored by the YWCA Pasadena-Foothill Valley. It’s part of the Y’s Bridge Builder series, designed to strengthen community. We’ll also be gathering to honor Marge Wyatt, a former Pasadena Unified School District board member and a driving force behind the integration of our public schools. She also founded the Child Care Information Center and remains a volunteer with the NAACP, the League of Women Voters and other Pasadena-area organizations.

The MC for the morning is KNBC-TV reporter Beverly White; the event chair is Ellen Portantino; and the keynote speaker is Dr. Joy DeGruy, a social-work expert and professor at Portland State University who is also known for her workshops on cultural sensitivity, mental health and ecological resilience.
